Google earlier today announced the Pixel 4A alongside the Pixel 4A 5G and Pixel 5. While the 5G models will be available in the Fall, the Pixel 4A is already on preorder in the US and is billed to go on sale in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Japan, and Canada. While for the Indian market, the phone is said to go on sale in October.
Google did reveal some detail of the availability in India which is the world’s third-largest market after the US and China. Although the India pricing is yet to be announced, the company hinted the phone will not be available in India until October, two months from now.
According to Brian Rakowski, VP of Product Management at Google during the launch, “This year, Pixel 4a—which launches in India in October—will continue to bring features like the incredible camera and feature drops that make your phone better over time. All of this packaged in sleek new hardware at a more affordable price”.
The Google exec also disclosed that the India price for the Pixel 4A will be announced close to the October launch date. The company also disclosed that the mid-range phone will be sold exclusively on Flipkart.
In addition, Rakowski disclosed that the tech giant has got no plan to launch the two 5G models in India ever. In essence, the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4A 5G won’t be dropping in India at all. Well, except the company changes its mind due to market forces.
“Regarding the two new 5G Pixel phones that were announced globally today, these will not be available in India or Singapore, based on a variety of factors including local market trends and product features,” explains Rakowski.
